I liked this ... but, I'm sorry Mary, it was a little bland. I feel badly saying that! Poor Mary. This stayed fairly true to cannon for the most part ( during the same time frame), but we got the different POV, and also earlier events (years earlier) and then events afterward. 

This did give some possible insight into Mary's, and some of the other character's behaviors in the familiar story. I got a little muddled starting SO much earlier, and then having yet another George in the picture (there's Wickham and Georgiana, now an earlier resident of Netherfield was also George?)

Justine Eyre is a good narrator, but some of the presentation (like Mary) was a little bland. Sounds of sighing ...  Not sure if it's the writing itself, just not a lot of emotion? I struggled a bit to keep interested and to press on to the end.

It was interesting to have one possibility of Mary's future (not typical!) and get little peeks at the other characters lives afterward too (Darcy and Jane naming their firstborn "Bennet" ... super cute!)

Traditional, same time frame/setting - no language, closed door bedroom scenes.

The audio was included in AudiblePlus, and I was able to snag the Kindle copy from KindleUnlimited (have a 3-month subscription). I was a bit annoyed at the lack of consistency in the Table of Contents between formats. The audio had simple chronological chapters listed, 1-90. The Kindle copy had five parts, each with several chapters which restarted chronologically in each. So in Audible ... Chapter 18, is Part 2/Chapter 1.  As I heard something I wanted to double check in the text, I noted "chapter 43" ... which, was not really helpful at all to find my spot in the Kindle copy.  I think I would have appreciated headers or something, so I could quickly look back and remember what each "part" was about (time/setting).
